A bomb calorimetric experiment was run to determine the enthalpy of combustion of ethanol. The reaction is The bomb had a heat c

apacity of 490 J/K, and the calorimeter contained 730 g of water. Burning 4.40 g of ethanol, resulted in a rise in temperature from 16.8 °C to 20.5 °C. Calculate the enthalpy of combustion of ethanol, in kJ/mol. (The specific heat capacity of liquid water is 4.184 J/g ⋅ K.) Enthalpy of combustion = kJ/mol

Answer:

The enthalpy of combustion of ethanol in kJ/mol is -1419.58  kJ/mol.

Explanation:

The heat absorbed by the bomb and water is equal to the product of the heat  capacity and the temperature change. Working with this equation, and assuming no heat is lost to  the surroundings, we write :

qcal= Ccal × ΔT= 490 J/K × 276.7 K= <u>135,583 J</u> = 135.58 kJ

Note we expressed the temperature change in K, because the heat capacity is written in K.

<u> Now that we have the heat of combustion, we need to calculate the molar heat.  </u>

Because qsystem = qrxn + qcal and qrxn = -qcal, the heat change of the reaction is -135.58 kJ.

This is the heat released by the combustion of 4.40 g of ethanol ; therefore, we can write  the <u>conversion factor as 135.58 kJ/ 4.40 g</u>.

The molar mass of ethanol is 46.07 g, so the heat of combustion of 1 mole of ethanol is :

molar heat of combustion= -135.58 kJ/4.40 g x 46.07 g/ 1 mol= -1419.58 kJ/mol

Therefore, the enthalpy of combustion of ethanol in kJ/mol is -1419.58  kJ/mol.

A substance with a pH of 10 is how much more basic than a substance with a pH of 2?
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

The same holds true for pH values above 7, each of which is ten times more alkaline (another way to say basic) than the next lower whole value. For example, pH 10 is ten times more alkaline than pH 9 and 100 times (10 times 10) more alkaline than pH 8.

Elements that have the following qualities: Lustrous, Solid at Room Temperatures, They react and form Basic Compounds, Great con
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

They are classified as METALS.

Explanation:

Elements are simple substances that cannot be chemically broken down into smaller substances. Based on different characteristics, they are classified into 3 namely:

- metals

- non metals and

- metalloid( mainly act as semi- conductor).

METALS are the type of elements that loses electrons to form positive ion, that is, they are electropositive elements. They are distinguished by the following characteristics:

- LUSTROUS: they have the ability to reflect light from its surface.

- At room temperature: Metals are solid are room temperature with the exception of Mercury which is liquid at room temperature.

- They react and form Basic Compounds

- Great conductor: most metals are great conductors of heat and electricity because they possess free electrons.

- Melting Point: they have high melting points.
